Sea Elves

The Sea Elves are descendants of High Elves who shipwrecked onto the Central Omniluxian Isles. Isolated from most of Omniluxia, they became masters of the eastern waters and are often dismissed by mainlanders as old sailors' tales.

Origins and Pact¶

Sea Elven tradition says they traded their long lives to breathe life into the barren islands they inhabited. Naathran brought saplings from the World's Lungs Forest and planted them on Anror Ta-Oswir, granting the islands life in exchange for shortened elven lifespans.

The Ioni-sir, Dori-sir, and Coriti-sir Elves are therefore not myth, but living branches of a maritime elven world.

Biology¶

Sea Elves are blue-skinned mariners with shorter lifespans than many elven cousins. Their sacrifice gave them fertile islands, cities, and philosophers rather than the near-immortal continuity of other elves.

Society¶

Sea Elven civilization was scattered by the Great Collapse, when tsunamis and hurricanes submerged many Ular-Pria and Sea Elven lands. Only embers of the old civilization survived across the Isles.

The masters of the waters keep their affairs separate from the mainland. Contact happens by their design, never by chance, because their ships are too fast to overtake and their island knowledge gives them command of the sea.
